In this episode, my guest is Prof. Krista Thomason, the author of the new book Dancing with the Devil: Why Bad Feelings Make Life Good. Krista is an associate professor of Philosophy at Swarthmore College. Her writings focus on the philosophy of emotion, moral philosophy, history of philosophy, and political philosophy.

• Discerning our way in life.
• Various approaches to emotions across wisdom traditions.
• Why Montaigne is an influential figure in the book. 
• Common obstacles to feeling our emotions.
